119. A CONVERSATION WITH DAVE DELLINGER

We spotlight one of America's longtime fighters for peace, civil rights and
social and economic justice. A pacifist for many years, Dave Dellinger talks
about his imprisonment for his resistance to U.S. entry into World War II,
and his opposition nuclear war and nuclear energy, beginning in the 1950s.
In relating his other activities in the 1960s, he assesses his relationship
with the civil rights movement, particularly his friendship with Martin
Luther King, Jr., and his activities in the anti-war movement. A member of
the "Chicago Seven," Dellinger evaluates the 1960s: the successes, failures
and lessons learned. To conclude, he discusses America in the 1970s and
1980s and calls for coalition-building to create a new movement for
effecting social change in the face of the activities of the New Right.
